By Tracye A. Moore, RDH, MS, EdD This course was published in the March 2016 issue and expires 03/31/19. The author has no commercial conflicts of interest to disclose. This self-study activity is electronically mediated. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES After reading this course, the participant should be able to: 1. Define patients with special According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2010, 56.7 million Americans had a diagnosed disability, which comprises 19% of the noninstitutionalized population. 1 6 The Americans with Disabilities Act defines disability as a "physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities," which may include hearing, vision, communication, mobility, or other activities of daily living. A disability can occur at any age. 1,7 12 In 2013, more than half of Americans with disabilities were age 18 to 64; 40% were age 65 and older; 7.4% were children age 5 to 17; and 0.4% were younger than 5. 1,2,5,6 Providing dental care to patients with disabilities may require modifications to the traditional treatment plan. Patients with special needs comprise those who are disabled due to physical limitations (congenital, traumatic, and/or physiological); medical complications (systemic, acquired, and/or hereditary); developmental problems (congenital and/or acquired); and cognitive impairments (mental, sensory, emotional, and/or behavioral) Individuals may present with more than one disability that requires medical management or the use of specialized equipment, services, or programs. 9,12 Dental health professionals need to be prepared to

Discuss treatment and oral hygiene strategies to support the oral health of patients with special needs. also require adjustments to treatment planning. 8,10,11,13 accommodate patients with special needs, regardless of their type of disability. Patients with broken or amputated limbs, one or more sensory impairments, or who use wheelchairs may require modifications of the oral health care treatment plan. Individuals with medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, respiratory disease, stroke, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and others may also need specialized support to ensure the dental visit is successful. The presence of developmental conditions such as Down syndrome, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and muscular dystrophy, as well as cognitive challenges (autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or dementia) may BARRIERS TO CARE FACED BY SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS Many individuals with disabilities are living longer due to advances in medical treatment. While people with disabilities were often institutionalized in the past, today most reside in communities. This has increased the likelihood that health care providers, including oral health professionals, will treat these patients in traditional medical/dental settings. 10 Without access to professional dental care, patients with special needs are at risk of oral disease and reductions in their quality of life. 3,6,8 10 Patients with special needs frequently experience barriers to dental care. The ability to pay for care remains the primary obstacle to obtaining oral health care services for this population. 4,6,9 11 Patients with disabilities are often of low socioeconomic status. Many individuals with special needs are without private health insurance and, instead, rely on government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid to pay for their medical and dental care. For those with private insurance, policies may not cover dental care or don't cover the cost of modified treatments sometimes required by patients with special needs Table 1 provides additional barriers faced by patients with special needs in accessing dental care. 6,9 11 STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO CARE The addition of education on treating patients with special needs to dental and dental hygiene curriculum is one step toward improving access to care for this patient population. In 2006, the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation introduced a standard requiring dental hygiene programs to educate their students in the treatment of patients with special needs. 14 Standard 2-12 states: "Graduates must be competent in assessing the treatment needs of patients with special needs. An appropriate patient pool should be available to provide a wide scope of patient experiences that include patients whose medical, physical, psychological, or social situations may make it necessary to modify procedures in order to provide dental hygiene treatment for that individual...clinical instruction and experiences with patients with special needs should include instruction in proper communication techniques and assessing the treatment needs compatible with these patients." 14 As such, accredited dental hygiene programs are now required to train students to safely and effectively
3 3 of 6 3/14/2017 1:20 PM treat populations with special needs. An interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach to providing care should be embraced by the oral health care team when treating special needs populations. Patients with a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine care. 8,9,11 Legislative reform of private and public reimbursement systems is needed to ensure that dental care for patients with special needs is covered. 11,12 Some states have addressed the access-to-care problem by changing state practice acts to allow dental hygienists to provide care directly to patients without the direct supervision of dentists or by introducing mid-level providers who can provide preventive, general, and some restorative care to underserved patients. Many organizations are working to address barriers to care for these patient populations. These groups comprise health care professionals who have undergone specialized training on the treatment of patients with special needs. The Special Care Dentistry Association provides education and networking resources to oral health professionals who serve patients with special needs. Its goal is to increase access to oral health care for special needs populations. 15 The National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped is a national organization comprised of volunteer dentists dedicated to meeting the needs of patients with physical, medical, and mental disabilities by providing dental care to those who cannot afford treatment and are not eligible for public aid. Older adults and individuals with disabilities are connected to dentists in their communities who provide comprehensive dental treatment, including prosthetics, at little to no cost. The organization also provides training for parents/caregivers on how to provide appropriate oral hygiene. 16 Since 1974, the Dental Education in Care of Persons with Disabilities program at the University of Washington School of Dentistry in Seattle has provided training to oral health professionals on the treatment of special needs populations, in addition to delivering dental care to individuals with disabilities. 17 This training program is unique, as most dental and dental hygiene schools have not historically offered such an extensive curriculum aimed at caring for those with special needs. This lack of training may result in unwillingness to provide treatment to special needs populations. Oral health professionals may be more likely to care for patients with special needs if they were to receive training early in their academic career and/or when they first begin practicing. 17 Established in 1985, Dental Lifeline Network is a national nonprofit organization comprised of volunteer dentists who provide dental care to older adults, people with disabilities, and medically fragile individuals who otherwise could not afford care. 18 Bridge Campaign of Concern is a dental outreach program in which dental hygienists provide preventive services and patient education to individuals with developmental disabilities in schools, vocational centers, and group homes. Information from screenings is used to prioritize referrals for treatment and guide staff in providing oral health instruction. The organization operates in both Illinois and Colorado. 19 CONSIDERATIONS TO SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT Before dental treatment can begin, the patient or caregiver must provide informed consent. Clinicians need to provide patients/caregivers with information on all parameters of treatment including the nature, risk, and benefits of the recommended treatment; any evidence-based alternatives to the procedure; an explanation regarding the need for any type of stabilization; and possible complications associated with the proposed treatment before informed consent can be given. 8 11,20 In order to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, dental offices must be wheelchair accessible. Some patients with special needs may require transfers from their wheelchair to the dental chair in order to provide dental treatment. 10,11 Patients should be allowed to attempt this transfer by themselves or with assistance from caregivers. Transferring a patient from his or her wheelchair to the dental chair is risky and may result in workplace injury. Modifying the wheelchair to mimic the dental chair or conducting stand-up dental procedures are possibilities when wheelchair transfers are ill advised. Caregivers are valuable resources when treating patients with special needs because they can provide feedback on the ideal time of day for treatment, behavioral management, communication assistance, insight into treatment needs, and additional information about patients' disabilities. 8,11,12 In addition to obtaining an accurate, comprehensive, and current medical history, patient assessment (range of motion, comprehension level, communication type, etc) and pre-treatment planning are essential Pre-treatment planning should include a thorough review of the patient's medical history; appropriate intervals for bathroom breaks; completion of forms;
4 4 of 6 3/14/2017 1:20 PM discussion of transportation issues; and desensitizing the patient prior to the appointment with a "tell-show-do" approach aimed at reducing anxiety. 8,10,11 The dental team should also coordinate oral care in consultation with patients' physicians, social workers, nurses, etc, in order to provide an interdisciplinary approach to safe and effective comprehensive treatment. 8,9,11 Developmentally appropriate communication is critical because patients who are not verbal may communicate in nontraditional ways Patients with slight impairments may have increased sensitivity in their other senses. 20 Communication in the dental setting is affected by clinicians' tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. When the clinician's expression and body language are inconsistent with the intended message, communication may be impaired. 11,20 Therefore, dental team members need not only to be attentive to the patient's body language, but also to their own voices and movements to ensure the messages (either verbal or nonverbal) are properly delivered. Once a patient with special needs is seated securely in his or her wheelchair or the dental chair, the clinician needs to communicate the treatment plan in terms that are appropriate for the patient's comprehension level. When treating a patient with a hearing impairment, the clinician needs to speak face to face so the patient can read lips. 11,21 Some patients may prefer to write messages on a pad of paper or a language board or use sign language. 10,11 A patient with a visual impairment may need guidance and verbal directions to experience a successful dental visit. Patients with dental anxiety may fare better with the "tell, show, do" approach and when provided the opportunity to touch the dental instruments before they are used in their mouths. 10,11 Clinicians need to be attentive to the needs of this patient population, beginning with the initial greeting and continuing to the completion of the appointment. Some patients with special needs have problems with balance, while others may exhibit aggressive behavior. In these cases, supportive and protective stabilization during treatment may be essential to patient comfort and safety during the dental appointment. 8,10,11,22 Stabilization of the patient's head can be accomplished through the use of pillows, rolled blankets, or towels. The patient's head needs to be raised slightly to avoid respiratory compromise. 8,10,11,22 During treatment, oral stabilization via mouth props can be achieved with rubber or styrofoam bite blocks (with floss tied through one end to prevent patient aspiration), disposable bite sticks (made of tongue depressors and gauze), cotton rolls, and rolled gauze. 8,10,11,22 HELPING PATIENTS MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE SELF-CARE Patients with special needs may exhibit poor oral hygiene due to difficulty in performing self-care and because many take medications that cause negative oral health side effects such as xerostomia. 10,11,22 Clinicians can modify self-care devices to improve the effectiveness of oral hygiene regimens. For patients who have difficulty grasping, the use of a wide-handled power toothbrush is recommended. The addition of bicycle grips, tennis balls, or soft plastic to make toothbrush handles may also make them easier to hold (Figure 1). An extender (ruler, rod, or wooden spoon) can be taped to the handle of a toothbrush to add length for patients who have limited range of motion. 10,11,22 Caregivers should also receive patient education on the importance of oral health, the oral/systemic links, optimal nutrition, and oral hygiene techniques so they can help patients maintain their oral health. Table 2 provides additional strategies for improving oral hygiene regimens in special needs populations. 23 FIGURE 1. Different grips can be added to toothbrushes to make them easier to use for patients who lack the dexterity needed for effective brushing. Reprinted with permission: Mannen J. Oral health and stroke.

5 5 of 6 3/14/2017 1:20 PM CONCLUSION Caring for patients with special needs requires pre-treatment planning and proper assessment, including scheduling appointments for the appropriate time; performing a thorough medical/dental history in consultation with physicians, social workers, and caretakers; and appropriate patient communication. The entire dental team should be educated about how to best care for patients with special needs so the initial impression is an inviting one. Obtaining informed consent and conducting proper documentation are essential prior to the start of any treatment. The various treatment modifications for intraoral care can range from pillows and mouth props to toothbrush modifications and stand-up dental treatment. Caregivers as well as patients should be educated about nutrition and preventive oral care so that optimal oral health can be achieved and maintained. TRACYE A.
